About

Stuart W. Monteith.

Stuart is the founder and Managing Partner of Eagle Nest Property Group. A Houston native (Kinkaid School · Ole Miss B.B.A., Banking & Finance), he has spent the last decade developing, operating, and investing in commercial real estate across Texas.

He advises, develops, and invests on his own account — pairing an underwriter's discipline with an operator's bias for execution across the full lifecycle of a deal: site selection and underwriting, entitlement and site planning, leasing, disposition, and capital structure.

His experience spans preschool-anchored mixed-use development in the Austin metro, retail value-add execution in Dallas–Fort Worth, master-planned residential in Central Texas, single-tenant net lease, and institutional site-selection advisory. From 2023 – 2026 he served as Director of Sales & Leasing at Centerpoint Commercial Properties, where he oversaw a 700K SF DFW retail portfolio. He now operates Eagle Nest as his full-time practice.

Stuart has been named to D CEO Magazine's Power Brokers list in 2025 and 2026, recognizing top commercial real estate brokers in Dallas–Fort Worth.

Stuart is based in Dallas and operates the family ranch in Salado, Texas, which anchors two of the firm's sister ventures.

How We Work

Calculated.
Intentional.

The long view

We work on real estate timelines, not commission timelines. A good site is worth waiting for; a wrong deal is worth walking away from.

Quality over quantity

A small number of partners on the best deals — not many partners on every deal. Our pipeline stays narrow by choice.

Skin in the game

We advise. We develop. We own. Our recommendations are shaped by what we'd do with our own capital.
